Biography
Jovianus Tuditanus was a general of the Eastern Roman Empire, born in Smyrna in Galatia (present-day northern Turkey). In 370 AD he launched a rebellion in the city of Smyrna, allying with the Jerusalemite rebel leader Ilus Poetelius. When Poetelius was killed, Jovianus became the new pretender to the title of Augustus, but it was not long before Titus Flavius led an army to exterminate him. Tuditanus was besieged in Smyrna, and killed in the assault.
